Morning Peonie, no they don't. That's part of the feedback as well, did the postman leave a card etc etc.
Good luck.

Will wave to you, and am expecting a bill at some stage - best not to look at cheap flight emails when talking to me :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Just about to hunt down a bigger handbag - where's Lula when you need bag advice
. No luggage just large handbag with lap top, iPad and cables - what more could a girl need on a break. OK, no answers on postcards thank you :rotfl:

Morning, two loads of asking washing on the line and it's a bright (sunny ish ) day with a slight wind. Washing is flapping around as I type.
All downstairs vacuumed including skirting boards, then everywhere steam mopped using tea tree oil directly on to the floor - smells lovely and all looks clean.
A bit of ironing to finish off, shower and then a long dog walk with DD. it's been great to spend some time with her, without the boys. She's a delightful young lady and thankfully we get on well.
Money - £30 needed for Friday night and fortunately the entertainment pot has been topped up
. Shopping list written up for Saturday and I'm guessing around £30. I'm using meat from the freezer and this cuts the cost of the weekly shop dramatically.
Aim is to empty freezer by the time we go on holiday and clean, leave turned off with the door open. Then fire it up on our return and have a Costc@ meat shop. Mr T will be in his element
. I may well do the same with the garage fridge as well.
1p TT to MOS - rockin' this MF stuff :rotfl:
